Merry Christmas, Everyone

26 December 2016

So it’s now Boxing Day and I’m sat stuffing my face with
every kind of food (chocolate, cheese, turkey… you name it)! To be honest, why
would you spend Boxing Day in any other way?!

I’ve never been one to rush out shopping as soon as the
sales begin. One because I hate routing through sales racks and two because I
think Boxing Day should be spent with loved ones. It’s an extension of
Christmas Day. For me, Boxing Day has always been spent at home, watching
films, eating good food and enjoying good company… and this year it’s no
different.

I’m extremely luckily to be surrounded by my wonderful
boyfriend, aunt/cousin and mom on this relaxed day, and soon we will be joined
by my other aunty to give out even more Christmas presents. As lovely as it is
to receive gifts, what I like most about Christmas is getting presents for all
my loved ones and seeing their faces on Christmas day when I give them out. I
mean, this year I’ve been slightly less extravagant with gift giving, mainly
due to being skint after forking out lots of money for my bathroom
refurbishment… but that doesn’t take away the magic. It’s not about how much
you spend, it’s about the gesture and thought of giving those you love a little
something to enjoy (no matter how big or small).

I was extremely luckily and received some truly wonderful
gifts from my family (more on that later in the week), but most of all I
enjoyed a day of relaxation. Christmas Eve was the same, and I’m going to make
today no different. Christmas only comes round once a year, so it’s best to
make the most of every second while you can…. shopping can wait.

So today, as I sit in my comfy clothes surrounded by those I
love, I make a toast to you all. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
